The 2023 Circa Fantasy Football World Championships - Official Scoring Rules

Yardage scoring is carried out to 2 decimals.

An individual offensive player on any active starting lineup will be credited points for scoring in the following manner:

Passing:

  • Yards passing divided by 20 (e.g. 301 passing yards = 15.05 fantasy points)
  • 4 Points for every passing TD. (6 pts for predraft bestballs)
  • Minus one point (-1) for every interception thrown.
  • 2 points for every 2-point conversion.

Rushing:

  • Yards rushing divided by 10 (e.g. 116 rushing yards = 11.6 fantasy points).
  • 6 points for every rushing TD.
  • 1 point for every reception.
  • 2 points for every 2-point conversion.

Receiving:

  • Yards receiving divided by 10 (e.g. 73 receiving yards = 7.3 fantasy points).
  • 6 points for every receiving TD.
  • 1 point for every reception.
  • 2 points for every 2-point conversion.

Placekicking (for Individual or Team Kicker)

  • 1 point for every Extra Point
  • 3 points for every FG of 1-30 yards plus 0.1 point for every yard thereafter.
  • Example: a 46 yard FG would be worth 4.6 points.

Defense Team and Special Team Scoring

  • 1 point for every sack
  • 2 points for every team takeaway (interception or fumble recovery)**
  • 6 points for every TD (via interception return, fumble return, punt or kickoff return, blocked FG return, missed FG return, blocked punt return)*
  • 2 points for every safety
  • 8 points for every shutout***
  • 4 points for allowing between 1-5 points***
  • 2 point for allowing between 6-10 points***

ACTION SCORING: ANY touchdown that is scored by a player in your starting lineup will receive 6 points for that touchdown. This includes but is not limited to, Punt Return, Kickoff Return, Fumble Return, Interception Return, Lateral, double turnover etc... Of course QBs still only receive 4 points for passing touchdowns.

* TDs scored on "fake" FGs or "fake" punts do NOT count as Defense/Special Teams scoring. TDs scored by the offensive team after a blocked FG or blocked punt do NOT count as a Defense/Special teams score. TDs scored on a double-turnover only count for the individual player who scored the TD, not for the team.

** A double turnover is considered points for the recovering team's defense and ST. Thus, an example, team A's offense fumbles and team B's defense recovers, but then fumbles the ball back to team A's offense. In that scenario team A's defense and special teams (along with team B's defense and ST) are both awarded a fumble recovery.

*** Any and all points scored against a team are considered points scored against the special teams and defense. Thus, as an example, a turnover by the offense that is returned for a TD is considered as points scored against the special teams and defense.

**** Provided there are no active complaints/grievances filed, scoring is official upon kickoff of the following week's games. See LEGAL (16 & 17)
